Oscar stars in the upcoming movie X-Men: Apocalypse as the title villain. He recently opened up to Buzzfeed about playing the role.

“For me, I’m a huge fan. I was a huge fan, particularly of Apocalypse, since I was a kid. So I feel like since I’m getting the shot to do it, then I can just follow my own discretion because of that,” Oscar said. “And sometimes, what’s fun to do is play against what people would expect, or what people would want you to do, because it is a different medium. To a certain extent, we are embodying certain things that are kind of mythical. If you look at Apocalypse, if you actually were to do or speak in the way that it seems like he should, it would probably be laughable. It doesn’t work, I don’t think, in this medium.”

“The problem with Days of Future Past is it’s hard to sequelize,” writer-producer Simon Kinberg, who’s been with the franchise since 2006, told the mag. “Whenever we talked about the sequel, the challenge was that it needed to feel not necessarily bigger visually, but that the stakes needed to feel bigger.”

“It’s a chaotic world of conflict and war and destruction,” director Bryan Singer said about the movie. “It’s one giant civilization that now requires one giant culling. That’s why he needs ­special assistants in this process.”

“Playing the legend that is Wolverine has been the greatest part of my life. I’m here today for one major reason, and that’s to thank the fans,” Hugh expressed. “You’ve always been there, and for that I thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

Hugh also mentioned that he didn’t even have an agent when he auditioned for X-Men. “That was the moment that changed my life forever,” he said.

Later in the panel, the cast debuted a trailer for the film, which fans can expect to see soon.

The actors both appeared on a panel for their CBS series that day and Halle told the crowd she would love to do a standalone movie based on her X-Men character Storm one day.

“In a heartbeat I would do a Storm movie,” Halle elaborated in an interview with Deadline. “I love that character through and through. So if that ever became an opportunity for me if it’s before I’m 65-years old I would absolutely do that. I think they should do it. If the fans want that the fans need to speak up and I’m sure it would be a possibility. If Fox felt like they could make money off of a Storm movie I’m sure they would do it.”

Earlier in the week, Nicholas was spotted pushing a cart of luggage while arriving at Montreal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport after making a trip to the 2015 Cannes Film Festival to promote his new film Mad Max: Fury Road, which is out in theaters now!
